SBA Loan FAQ

Unlike conventional lending standards, SBA loans offer funding for specific business needs as well as real estate and operating capital. SBA loans may allow for: longer terms, more flexible repayment options and lower down payments.

To make it simple, when determining if the appropriate financing should be looked at as an SBA loan, we look for the below three common reasons to acquire SBA financing:

• Collateral Shortfall
• Equity Injection
• Extending Amortization

Upon approval of the SBA credit application, a lender provides a loan with the SBA guaranteeing a portion. This guarantee gives the bank added collateral when considering loans to businesses that meet SBA guidelines that may otherwise not qualify conventionally. The loan proceeds allow the business to capitalize their business.
